TEMPERANCE IN OUR NAVAL SERVICE.


Much has been said about the intern
perance of the officers and men on board
His Majesty's training ship Kaimiloa.
If such state of things existed on board
of the vessel, it certainly was not the
result of any permission, or even acqui-
escence on the part of the Government.
All the stories which have been spread
broadcast about the shipment of beer,
sprituous liquors and champagne TO
Samoa or elsewhere are simply mis-
chievous inventions, absolutely without
the least foundation of fact, unless a JUS
LITIGATION can be, claimed by the i'm
ventors through contractor packing a
quantity OF bread in beer cases.
The following extract from the letter
of instructions to Commander Jackson,
on the departure of the Kaimiloa, will
show the views of the Government on
the question of temperance on board that
vessel: CRY
-ou will not take on board any spiritu-
Gus liquors, nor permit any to be brought
on to the vessel for the use of yourself, the
officers and the crew. This order is in
accordance with the expressed views of His
Majesty in Cabinet Council

the list to a close, and the response to this
toast was ably given by Bro. S. A. Barker,
who spoke at some length on the indebted
ness of Masonry to the ladies by virtue of
the happy influence they exerted upon the
brethren individually.

VENEZUELA VS.. BRITAIN.

British Men of-War In the Venezuela Har-
bors aud Diplomacy Abandoned.
SANTIAGO DECUBA, April News has
just been received by the Spanish steamer
Villaverde, from Venezuela, reporting stir
ing times there. Three British men-ofwar
are in the narbOr of Puerto Caballo, Port
Caracas, the Venezuela capital. The Brit
sh Minister has left the capital and is on
board of one OF the war ships. Diplomatic
relations between the British and Ven
ezuelan Governments has been severed
The complications are due to the imprison-
ment of English sailors and citizens in
lSS3 without Just cause, intermixed with
Il question OF boundaries between
British Guinea and Venezuela. The
British minister at Caracas demanded
satisfaction and the release of the soldiers
and passengers of the English vessels
Henrietta and Josephine, and later de-
manded compensation from Venezuela,
but without result. In October last the
English government demanded an instant
reply. The latter was again brought be-
fore the government of Venezuela at Car
acas but AS no satisfaction could be OBJ
taiued, diplomatic relations were severed
rs before stated A Royal Mail steamer
h,rs been dispatched to one of the British
islands for troops. The Yenezuelans con
slider a dire crisis at hand. They had re-
fused to yield when the steamer Villa
verde sailed.

FOREIGN NEWS.
An Afghan Revolt.

LONDON, April A Lahore paper an
nounces that the Ameer Of Afghanistan is
seriously alarmed over the discovery that a
number of native tribes are combining
against him, and has appealed to the In
dian authorities 70" help and advice.
The Afghaus de,lare that the country
has been secretly sold to the British, and
that the railway to Caudahar has been
sanctioned by the Ameer 70 facilitate their
advance. The fanatical element Of the
people is rampant against the Ameer, who
has removed his treasure to FyZabad,
whittier he will retire himself If he is de-
feated by his dissatisfied subjects.
Other accounts say that the Ghilzais ART
restless under the Ameer's tyranny, and
have asked the Indian authorities to de-
pose him. The Pioneer asserts that Lord
Dutferin, the British Viceroy, received dis
quieting news from Afghanistan while al
Allahabad recently.

Two Hundred Homeless Families In Chat
tanOoga and No Houses to Rent.
CHATTANOOGA, TENN, April A
singular difficulty has arisen here as the
result OF the real estate boom which has
prevailed for three months.
Some time since a syndicate Of capital
lists purchased large tract OF land almoSs
in the center of the city called Stone Fort,
which, on account of its rocky and uneven
condition, has been allowed 10 become Oc-
cupied by negro tenants, at least two hun
dred small houses having been put up for
their occupancy.
These two hundred families have Oeen
and they will have to leave. There is net
a vacant house in the city that they can
get, and Chattanooga is now confronted
with the problem of what TO do with two
hundred families who are turned out of
house and home.
The purchasers propose to improve the
property, level it of and make it available
for business and residences. The poor
people will have to get of during the COM
ing week, and what TO do with them no.
body knows. In several other pOr.
tiOns, of the city where property
has heretofore been occupied. by
poorer classes, and which property has
passed into new hands, the tenents have
also been ordered of to make room for inn
provements 1t is safe TO say that during
the coming week, if these notices are in
sisted upon, there Will be hundreds Of
homeless families in Chattanooga, with no
houses that they can rent.

PETITIONS ARRIVING.
PROTESTS PILING UP BEFORE THE INTER
STATE COMMISSION.
North and South Asking That fhsy Be Left Out
Petitions From Oregon and Prom 6scrgla
Pressntsd-Rvsr Men TO Answer
the Southern Association.

WASHINGTON, April 4. - The usua-
heaps of mail matter were piled upon the
big brown desk in the temporary Office Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
this morning at 10 o'clock.
The first visitor ofimportance wasSena-
tor Dolph, of Oregon, who presented q
memorial from the Walla Walla Board
of Trade, in which the petitioners prayed
that the crop of the present year be re-
leasd from the strain of, exorbitant freight
charges.
Senator Dolph also presented petition
frem the Board of trade of Portland, Ore
gon. The memorialists say they do not
know whether the law forbids the making
of rates to coast points so that the rail-
roads may compete with the water routes
and the Canadian Pacific Railroad. They
ask the Commission to interpret the law
and to give them, the Portland Board of
Trade, the dispensing power,
Congressman Butterworth, accompanied
by several representatives of river inter
ests," asked the commission for an oppor-
tunity to be heard in opposition to the
representative of the Southern Railway
an Steamship Association heard on Satur-
day last. Copies of the documents sub
mitted by the railroad men were handed to
the gentlemen, who will ask tomorrow
that an hour be set aside for the hearing of
their side.
A committee from the Macon, Ga. Cham
Der of Commerce, consisting of Messrs. w.
Ii. Ross, II. ID. Johnson, S. Waldeman and
j. f. Hasson, were then received by the
Commission. Their position was one in line
with that taken by the Atlanta body on
Saturday. They set forth that the effect
of the enforcement OF the fourth section Of
the act would be 10 increase through rates
from Is to 90 per cent. beyond present
prices and would not reduce the tariff be-
tween intermediate points. This increase
of through rates meant the destruction
not only of the railroads, but Of all the
great commercial interests in the South,
they that the long and short haul section
be not applied to Southern railroads.
In reply to letter from the Canadian
Express Company of Montreal, asking if
the Interstate Commerce act applied TO
express companies, an answer was return
ed stating that an early opportunity
would be given the express company to be
heard on the subject, and until such
hearing took place the Commission would
hold that the law did apply to express
companies.
1t is likely that the session OF this week
will not be continued after Wednesday
evening.

SOLID DEMOCRACY.
Another Account of the Big Meeting Of
Marion Democrats.
o. a..flh

Marion Democrats.
Special Correspondence ofuas Regiater.
FAIRMONT. W. Va, April 2.-The
Democratic mass meeting held here to-day
was most gratifying success. The utmost
harmony and good feeling prevailed
throughout, and the greatest unanimity
attended its action. Every district in the
county was largely represented; the num-
Der in attendance being estimated at from
600 to 500. They were the sturdy, honest,
stalwart voters of the party, the intelligent,
patriotic rank and file as distinguished
from the professional politicians. They
came from the farm and the workshop to
vindicate the principles oftrue Democracy,
and to express through the
avenue of regular party organiEa-
ton the party's condemnation
of the dangerous political heresies that
would destroy its established usages and
tsnets and subordinate the party to fac
tional dietation. 1t was eminently con-
vention of the Democratic masses and one
of it's notable features was the calm, deter
mined, dignified manner and character Of
its action. There was no OratOry, no im-
passiOned appeals on behalfof party organ
ization AID party integrity; the wide
awake Democracy of Marion recognized
their duty and needed neither argument
OF persuasion to do it. After etfecting an
organization they selected committee of
two representative Democrats from each OF
the several magisterial districts to draft
resolutions, and when these had been pre-
sented in satisfactory form they were
adopted by a unanimous vote, of the con-
yeniion. Not Democratic voters voice
was heard'in dissent.
The unexpected size OF the meeting, its
thoroughly representative character, the
unity of sentiment upon the vital questions
at issue. mark the convention as one Of the
most notable, satisfactory and significant
gatherings of the party eyer held in Marion
county. The Republicans were sOrely dis
appointed, while the Democrats are corre-
spOadingly elated. The meeting has i'm
pressed fresh courage and confidence in
the Democratic ranks throughout all the
county.
The resolutions adopted were published
in yesterdays REGISTER.

ROBBED ORPHANS.
Guardian Bell Arrested at Charleston by a
Pittsburg OttlCer,

IltthDurs OlceT'
PITTsBURG, Pa, April 4.-COnstable
Porter, of Alderman McMasters' office, re-
turned to this city on Saturday night from
Charleston, West Virginia, near which
place he made an important arrest. He
had in his custody j. II. Bell, former
well-known resident of this city, who has
been missing for several months and is
charged with the cmhezzlement of 5000
from the estate of Mrs. Amanda Nell
haney, of Allegheny.
Bell was appointed the guardian of Mrs.
McElhaney's children at the time of their
fathers death and was entrusted with
funds belonging to the estate. Mrs. McEl-
hancy became suspicious that there was
something wrong several months ago, and
after consulting her attorney decided to
make charge of embezzlement against
Bell before Alderman McMasters. The
suspected guardian suddenly disappeared
about this time, and before warrant
could be served OH him. Nothing was
heard of him for some time, but finally
he was located in West Virginia.
A reuuisitiOn was obtained from
the Governor of that State for Bells arrest
and armed with this document Constable
Porter went in pursuit of the fugitive last
week. After considerable search he was
found in a remote part of the country back
of Charleston. He expressed surprise at
being wanted on such a charge and was
emphatic in declaring his innocence. He
did not much relish the idea Of coming
back, however, until some torcible argu-
ments were used on the part OF the officer.
He was lodged in Jail yesterday and if he
cannot obtain bail will remain there until
he gets trial at court, as he will not be
granted hearing before a magistrate on
account of being brought back on a requi-
sitiOn.
